Passage31 Cananimals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals maybe t 1 todo a number of simple jobs. They s 2 that in a film or on TV we may see elephants,monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of things. If you w 3 carefully, you may find that those animals are given something to eat in return ford 4 them. The scientists say that many d 5 animals may be taught to do a number of simplejobs if they will get something to eat. Ofcourse, as we know, dogs can be used toguard a house, and elephants can be usedto do some heavy j 6 And we can also teach animals to workin f 7 . Apes, for example have b 8 used in America to help make cars andscientists b 9 that these monkeys may one day get in cropsand e 10 drive trains. Passage32 Ifyou don’t use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; when you start using them again, they will gradually （逐渐地）become stronger again. Everybody knows this. Yet many people do notseem to know that it is the s 1 with memory. When someone says that he has agood memory, he really means that he d 2 give it enough chance to become stronger. Ifa friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we k 3 that it is his own fault. But if he tells usthat he has a poor memory, many of us think that his p 4 are to blame, and f 5 of us know that it is just his own fault. Haveyou e 6 found some people can’t read or write but theyusually have b 7 memories? This is b 8 they cannot read or write and they h 9 to remember things; they cannot write them down in a littlenotebook. They must remember dates,names, songs and stories; so theirmemory is the whole time being exercised. Soif you want a good memory, l 10 from these people : practise remembering. Passage33 WhenI was walking down the street one day, I s 1 a small bag on the ground. I picked it up andopened it to see w 2 I could find out the owner’s name.

But if you w 4 , the assistant will leadyou there and then he will go away. It seems that he is not interested i 5 selling any books at all. Thereis a story which t 6 usabout a good shop. A medical student found a very useful book in a shop, but itis too expensive for him to b 7 . He couldn’t get it from the library, e 8 .So every afternoon he went there to r 9 a little at a time.

Passage38 Whenyou go to England you may find the traffic there is different from ours. As a f 1 .you must be c 2 in the streets, because the traffic d 3 onthe left. You must look to the right and then the left before you cross astreet. Inthe morning and in the evening when people go to or come back from work, thestreets are very b 4 . Traffic is most d 5 then. Whenyou go by bus in England, you have to take care, too. Always r 6 the traffic m 7 on the left. You have to t 8 a look first or you will go to the w 9 way. Inmany English cities there are big buses with two f 10 .You can sit on the second one. From there you can see the city very well. Passage39 Whichanimal do we need m 1 ? Dogs? Horses? No! The a 2 tothe question is cows. Why cows? Cows give us milk. And milk is one of our mostimportant k 3 of food. Suppose(假设)that all the milk cows make in one year wereput i 4 bottles. And suppose these bottles were putside by side. The line of bottles would go all around the world 400 t 5 Thatis a lot of milk, less than half of it is used for d 6 andcooking. Most of it is u 7 to make butter cheese, ice cream andmany other things. It takes many cows to give us that m 8 milk. But not as many as it used to. A cowused to give only about 1,500 quarts(夸脱)ofmilk a year. Now a fine cow may g 9 more than 3,000 quarts ina year. Whydo cows give more milk today? Now farmers have better cows. The cows get betterc 10 and better food. Passage40 Here’s a part of an e-mail answer from Joe giving someadvice to his son in college. “When I was young, I often met t 1 about what to doand what not to do. My grandmother told me not to worry about those things. I o 2 did them once ayear or once a lifetime. I 3 , I should try to dowell those things, and I do them every day. For example, I need to eat everyday, so I should learn how to c 4 . I need to talk to o 5 every day, so Ishould learn how to work with d 6 people and know how to s 7 well. I walk every day, so my s 8 should be all right and comfortable. Everynight I sleep, so my bed should let me have a good rest. Taking care of the e 9 things m 10 that you do abetter job of the one in a lifetime things as well.” Passage41 Let me tell you a story. A good friend of mine lives withsix hundred animals on an island. Ever s 1 he left school, he has travelled all over theworld l 2 for animals for his own zoo. He writes booksabout his travels, and about his wonderful a 3 . The money for hisbooks helps him to p 4 for all the animal food. My friend told methat when he was looking for water last week (There is not enough water on theisland, though there is a lot all around it, he f 5 oil. He n 6 money for his travels and for his zoo, and a little oil would buy e 7 water for a long time, but he knows that if he tells anybody elseabout it, it will be the e 8 of his zoo and his life’s work. So I think he will not tell anybody e 9 you and me about what he found — because oiland water can’t be p 10 together. Oil may bring greater trouble to hisanimals than not having enough water. Do you think so? Passage42 The u 1 means the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars and the space b 2 them. Many of the stars are so f 3 away that we can not see them. The moon, our satellite, travels a 4 the earth. It has already been visited b 5 man from the earth. Man-made satellites havebeen sent up i 6 space by many countries. They go round theearth. They are used for helping us to learn more a 7 the earth, the weather and other things. They are also used for sending and r 8 messages. It makes people f 9 different countries understand each other muchbetter. So people say the world itself is becoming a much s 10 place. People call the small place “the globalvillage”. |
